Filmmaker Srisaila Sri Rajamouli has proved his command over screenplay, direction, cinematography and storytelling with his previous films like Eega(Hindi version: Makhi), Magadheeraand Bahubali: The Beginning. They are complete packages on their own, so expecting anything below average from him is totally out of the question.

Bahubali 2begins exactly where the first instalment left off. Kattappa narrates the entire tale of the Mahishmati Empire with an introduction to Sivagami, Bahubali, Bhallal Dev, Devasena and Bijjaldeva. He then explains how Bahubali won the hearts of his people while Bhallal Dev and his father conspired against him. This ultimately results in his assassination by Katappa, his very own cover.

From dangerous stunts to simple walks, Prabhas has proved his screen presence and acting skills in more ways than one. Bahubali is by far the most prominent role he has done, one for which he will always be remembered.

Despite the fact that he has a limited amount of dialogue in the film, Rana Daggubati who plays Bhallal Dev makes a ferocious villain, owing to his loud and clear expressions. Nassar aka Muhammad Hanif has also done an exceptional job playing the menacing Bijjaladeva. Sathyaraj, who plays Kattapa, engages in both emotional and comic scenes with some great dialogues. Ramya Krishnan and Anushka Shetty both do justice to their characters as well.

For me, the main highlights of the film were the action sequences, especially the war scene where Bahubali (senior) rescues Devasena from Pindari.

I seem to be the only one who has not watched any series of Harry Potter / Lord of the Rings / Star Wars/ and now Bahubali … and … couldn’t care less. The last series I watched was of Indiana Jones and am still smitten by it .Recommend

What’s wrong with correcting a mistake? And how do you deduce that people trying to correct the error ‘hate pakistan’ or hate anything at all?? I haven’t read a single comment that was impolite or nasty to the reviewer!

Ever wondered why Pakistanis all over the world make a BIG fuss about Arabic being passed off as Urdu (on Karachi street signs) in the the video game ‘Call of Duty’??
